  Every fascist regime was established in democratic elections

  This feels questionable at best— there’s a lonnnnnggg history of rulers in countries prior to democracy

  Simply not true. Not all fascist regimes came out of elections. Many, many governments arose from coups, usually military.

  You can’t shift a government from Democratic to fascist, if it was never democratic in the first place.
